Principal's Message
Dear Parents, June 8, 2013
Governing Council Election: Ballots are now in and have been counted. The new Parent Rep for a two-year term is Amy Lally. The Parent Rep alternate for the same term is Keri Kraft. We are so happy that so many families participated in this important process of our charter governance. Voting for these parent positions is an important part of our school's functioning and the ability to fulfill our Charter. Thank you to all involved! Our first Governing Council meeting next year will be Thursday, September 12 at 2:00 p.m. Mark your calendars!
2013-2014 Student Classroom Assignments: As we prepare for next Fall, please be reminded that our teachers and the Principal will be responsible for deciding the 2013-2014 student assignments. As noted in your Parent/Student Handbook, parents may not request specific teachers. Prior to the start of school on Tuesday, August 13 the new class rosters will be posted in the front of the school at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, August 12. Additionally, the school will be mailing your classroom placements to your home in August.
Farewells: Thank you to Miguel Espinoza, Kari Shelton, and Natalie Rosenthal for their amazing abilities and dedication in teaching Kindergarten, second and fifth grade classes this year for us. We saw the fruit of their labor in the eyes and souls of those kids that thrived in their classrooms. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
We Made It: It's been another fantastic year at Palisades Elementary School! This is a testament to the dedication and commitment of every level of our community. We have really been able to stay together as a cohesive and dynamic institution directed towards profound childhood learning and cooperative integrity.
News: The school office will be closing on Thursday, June 13 at 3:00 pm and reopening on July 29 at 9:00 am. Please make a note.
See you in August,
Joan Ingle,
Principal
